Re: [cobalt-users] Sources for updated packages?



A new location on ftp.cobaltnet.com has been created for this purpose, you
can find most of the recent srpms for updates at:

ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/products/updates/
 
I haven't had a chance to publish all of the updates but I tried to get
the major ones.  

Remember, not all updates contain rpms and that some rpms only exist as
cvs repositories at Cobalt, thus no srpm exists.  I have partially
automated this process at Cobalt, but since I don't create many updates
anymore I can't promise this will be kept current in the future.
